Carpet

Carpet also requires a bulk tag and must be cut into bundles no greater than 4 feet in length with each bundle weighing less than 40 pounds. Only one bulk tag is needed for carpeting whether one room or whole house.

General Guidelines

Although there are some exceptions, the basic rule to follow is that if an item exceeds 4 feet in length or height, or it exceeds 40 pounds in weight, a bulk sticker is required for its pick-up. A sticker is required for each large item. Call the office at 412-788-4888 if you are not sure if a sticker is needed. You do not need to call the Township office to make arrangements for pick-up of large items.

Buying a Sticker

You may purchase the Bulk Sticker by credit card on our website for an additional convenience fee of $1.44. The online price is $16.44. Once submitted and payment is received, a bulk tag will be mailed to you.

You may also mail a request to the office with a check payable to North Fayette Township for the appropriate amount. If paying by cash or check, the total cost of the Bulk Sticker is $15. Write "Bulk Tag" on the outside of the envelope and be sure to include a note with your name, address, phone number in case there would be any questions and specifically name what the item is that needs to be picked up. The sticker can then be mailed to you. We reserve the right to reject any bulk item. Bulk Stickers can also be purchased at the Township office Monday through Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Check With Appliance Dealers

Many appliance dealers will remove the old item when they deliver a new appliance. Be sure to ask your dealer when scheduling delivery.

Refrigerators, Freezers, Air Conditioners

A bulk sticker is required for these items, but another sticker is also required from a certified technician showing the Freon has been removed. The Township cannot pick up an item that contains Freon. To save the cost of paying someone to remove the Freon and then purchase a bulk pick up sticker, you can call 1-888-Go-Freon (1-888-463-7366) and they will come out, remove the Freon and remove the item.

We do not sell bulk tags for televisions or computer monitors. Effective January 1, 2013, e-waste (electronic waste) items can no longer be taken to the landfill.
